Hello

I founded Lifestyle 360, LLC, to be a resource for anyone suffering from physical ailments. I wanted to provide clear, precise, and easy to follow guidelines and practices to help people on their journeys of healing. All of my research and education stemmed from trying to understand myself, my physical ailments, my emotions, my energy body, and my spiritual occurrences. 

 

It took years of training and working with alternative health professionals, but I overcame Fibromyalgia, IBS, and Chronic UTI's. Now I am driven to share my knowledge to help others. I have collaborated with MDs teaching nutritional education classes to their patient bases, I have owned my own wellness boutique, and eventually partnered with an MD owning Advanced Metabolic Medicine, a wellness center where we offered nutrition counseling, Micronutrient Testing, IV Therapy, Neurofeedback, and a hyperbaric chamber.

 

From birth I suffered from constipation and at the age of three chronic UTI's began. I was constantly in  the hospital as I dealt with fainting, weakness, and constant headaches and fatigue. It was the 1970's and (Western) medicine didn't take a holistic approach of looking at how lifestyle choices and emotions play into our health and happiness. And food sensitivities?Basically unheard of. 

 

In my late 20s, I switched careers from network engineering to the health and wellness industry, because dealing with my health issues was simply unsustainable. I chose nutrition as my entry point, cleaned up my diet, modified my lifestyle, and reclaimed my vitality. 

 

As I began working with and helping clients, I realized that even though we are just like any other organism from a biological standpoint, the tricky part is understanding how our emotional bodies intertwine with our physical bodies. I continually saw subconscious patterns holding people back from what they truly desired. I came to understand it was their default belief system constantly pulling  them back to their old ways, and it was going to take more than just sheer willpower to overcome these beliefs. 

 

I also began to have heightened meditative experiences. Honestly, they scared me, as I knew nothing of these phenomena:  kundalini, astral traveling, 3rd eye openings, and other mystical things. As a kid, I experienced visions and premonitions which continued throughout my adult life. I didn’t know what to do with them or how to understand them or how to harness or utilize this energy. I thought they were pretty cool but because anyone I shared them with just looked at me oddly, I stopped paying them attention. 

 

But then as I was facilitating nutritional education groups, people would comment how they loved when I would go off script from the material. My “sweet spot,” they would call it. Someone pointed out to me I was channeling information, like scientific methods or published materials that I hadn’t read or studied. I chalked it up to the universal connection inside our cells, and that I was simply instinctively responding to the needs of someone in the group.

 

I thought I had it all figured out. But when I was in my mid 40's, several major life events shook me to my core. A 20+ year marriage ended, my terminally ill and aging parents needed care, and a relocation to another state resulted in me losing my business contacts and reputation. At the same time, I decided to split my time in the Caribbean to build my dream of hosting eco-adventure wellness retreats. I didn’t have the foundation nor the support system to endure all these changes at once.  To my detriment, I kept pushing forward to achieve what my logical mind wanted (which was my own subconscious patterns playing out; physician, heal thyself!). 

 

Suffice to say, this time in my life had enough drama and danger to fill a dozen Lifetime movies. I was attacked physically, financially,  emotionally, and spiritually. I hit rock bottom, and even tried to take my life a couple times. It’s not that I didn’t want to live anymore, I just didn’t want to live this way, trapped and alone and tormented. But somehow I found the strength to fight for my life and my freedom, and on my 48th birthday, I left the situation and once again reclaimed myself. 

 

I threw myself into caregiving for my dad, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. While it was a great distraction from all the problems I had left behind, it was also very hard to watch my dad deteriorate from genius to comatose. But taking care of him forced me to utilize all the talents and skills I had acquired through my life, and that ended up being my saving grace (thanks, pops!). Even though he didn’t know me at the end (though I know he recognized my energy), he always  knew that he was cared for and loved.  And in the end, that is all anyone is looking for: love and acceptance. To be seen for who they are and not what you want them or expect them to be.  

 

My health, though, continued to deteriorate through the years of caregiving. Nightmares lasted for months.I had interrupted sleep, chronic UTI’s (again!), shingles, Pelvic Floor dysfunction, Interstitial Cystitis or Painful Bladder syndrome (PBS), kidney inflammation along with GERD and IBS-C, heaping doses of anxiety and depression, and with some PTSD sprinkled on top
 

But I had traveled this road before. Even though I didn’t know why this was happening to me, I knew how to figure it out.  I researched and sought out  specialists to identify and design a plan of recovery for each of my issues. My most impactful discovery?  It is our emotional bodies that direct our lives. Our emotional bodies directly impact and lead our physical bodies, healthily or unhealthily, through programs, patterns, and belief systems running in our subconscious mind.

 

These programs and belief systems form when we are very young as a way to keep us safe and alive until we are able to become independent. This is why we are literally wired to remember the negative, because our subconscious mind’s job is to move us away from pain and toward pleasure. 

 

But if we do not mature or evolve past those patterns, or intentionally build new ones, we can get stuck.  Those negative thoughts repeat and repeat until they solidify, creating looping patterns of behavior: the self-sabotage cycle. 

 

Whether it's self esteem, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, triggers, OCD, PTSD, hyper-vigilance, long term unexplained illnesses, weight issues, picking the wrong partners because it’s comfortable, repeatedly ending up in the same negative relationship scenarios, it is our programming keeping us stuck.

 

Even if you are an adult, though, you can rewire your brain and foundational belief systems to align logically (brain) and emotionally (subconscious mind). Because we are not what has happened to us; we can move beyond it and create new realities from reexamined and intentionally chosen beliefs. 

 

I share my story hoping to inspire people and to let you know that you're not alone. I have survived everything for a reason. All my experiences have allowed me to grow, overcome, and find gratitude. The tools that helped me, I gratefully offer to you. 

 

I use a hybrid technique that integrates communicating with the subconscious mind, energy work, hypnotherapy, and nutritional and lifestyle choices, which empowers you to update your belief systems and rewrite your programming. These new thoughts and patterns of behaviors–intentionally and consciously chosen by you– will allow your authentic self to shine. 

 

If you are ready to feel better in body and mind… if you are eager to feel safe in everyday life and to express yourself compassionately… if you desire to release fear, anger, shame, and guilt… and if you can’t wait to feel energized as you take on your day… I’d be honored to be part of your healing journey.

 

Do Life Better!
